I love the beginning,: "There are so many based out here....." Eck! (I was actually in the U.S. military.)

Around 2000, legitimate escort services like WOW in New York City would give you half off on the next hire if there was an obvious problem. The one time it happened the replacement escort was wonderful, and I hired him again. But, that was almost 20 years ago. WOW hired male models as escorts.

One night only at Lincoln Center, New York City. March 4 Richard Burton first played King Arthur in the early 1960s musical. Julie Andrews was also in the cast in the musical by Lerner and Loewe. The concert director won Tony Award for the revival of the musical South Pacific.

The two words (things "sucking" and being a "douche") are used by people who have never said anything even vaguely "homophobic."

I worked in a factory during college summers. Some factory work is very precise and demanding; other jobs are simply boring and repetitive. The last summer I had to be wide awake and alert all the time, or I would have lost several fingers. In fact, it was too much. Not all factory work is like what Lucy and Ethel did in one the best episodes of early television.

Uh. The television The Sound of Music followed the Original Broadway script from 1959. I did see the TSOM on stage in 1960. To be fair, the film was better.

The South Pacific Concert DVD was somewhat different from the live performance with Reba and Brian Stocks Mitchell at Carnegie. They also used scenes from the dress rehearsal.

Not a great subject. I knew someone who died skydiving.

@purplekow , Bruno's sister and her sons were far more genuine than Carmela Soprano. Instead of just talking about helping poor communittees, they were active in programs that worked to minimize child abuse And Bruno was murdered long before The Sopranos.

For several years my supervisor was the sister of a legendary Philadelphia mob boss, Angelo Bruno. She was far more sophisticated than Tony's older sister, Janice. Yet she was a person who could not be completely trusted. Angelo Bruno was murdered while sitting in his car, just about to turn the ignition on. Even though he was concerned a kindly boss, I never forgot that his sister, my supervisor, was married to one of Bruno's bosses I was very glad when she left. Tony and Carmela may have been somewhat glorified on "The Sopranos,' But they were terrible people.

I different showrunner might have chosen Christopher or Jackie, Jr. as the gay mob member.

I agree about the Six Feet Under final ending, both interesting and unusual.

According to David Chase, Michael was one of many who tested for the role. He did appear in HBO series, The Deuce.

Thanks, Sam

The 20th Anniversary of HBO's best rated show. Favorite Characters: Tony, Livia, Jackie,Jr., Carmela, Paulie Favorite episode: The College Tour I did see James Gandolfini several times early in morning in New York's West Village. Not friendly. Once he fell against me by accident while buying a paper.

Forgetting festive occasion for the moment, I like Sydney a bit more than Rio. They are both magical cities!

Billy was 21 years old in Australia when he was in "Absolute Arid" twenty years ago. Very, very nice ass!

@marylander1940, we disagree, but I should not have made it personal.

@marylander1940, I posted escort reviews here beginning in 2000. I signed the reviews with my then street address so that the escort agency, Premier, could identify me.

I can not explain @marylander1940's position on paying for cancelled appointments. The same argument may have been made by others. If so, I do not remember. And I have posted here longer than Marylander1940

Perhaps you can put yourself in my place when the gentleman arrived with gifts and flowers for a party he was attending later that evening. Cancelled appointment occur, for good reason of no reason. I understand that escorting is far from easy money. Sorry I would never pay for an appointment I cancelled. Never.

You have me there. I only remember my maternal grandmother who died when I was five years old. She was 82.
